Hits are scarce ... but Rocks get a useful series win vs Phillies

My Rockies are a team that can rack up wins, but we also have bats that can get really chilly and torpedo the momentum.  We'd travel to Philly, expect some high-scoring games, but instead have to scratch out wins!  The highlights:

GAME 1

Rockies - 4

Phillies - 0

It was close and yet it was over early.  Rocks used 3 early homers to go up 4-0 after 2 frames.  But we'd actually get just 5 hits for the game.  But the Phils would struggle more.  Snell let up just 2 hits, and the bullpen just one more.

GAME 2

Rockies - 4

Phillies - 2

No homers for the Rocks in this one, but the Phillies had just five hits, including solo homers by Marsh and Canario.  "Fun fact" - Rockies took a 3-0 lead into the 6th and put men on constantly late in the game, but hit into a double play in every damn inning 6-9.  Whew boy...

GAME 3

Rockies - 3

Phillies - 6

The Phillies snagged their first lead of the series when Harper hit an RBI double in the 4th.  But it was short-lived, as Will Smith hit a 2-out, 2-run homer in the top of the 5th.  But The Phillies bounced right back, and would crank 4 homers over the last 4 home frames for the win.

GAME 4

Rockies - 3

Phillies - 1

A pitching master class from the Rocks.  The Rockies got a big fly from Tatis in the 3rd, but the Phillies tied it with an RBI double by Moreno in the home 4th.  The guys in purple would then score in the 6th on an Olson homer, and get a useful RBI hit by Baty in the 7th.  Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw was in 2016 form.  He pitched 7 and let up just two baserunners.  Caleb Thielbar and Emilio Pagan would both be perfect in the 8th and 9th.  Series win!
